Italy's Proposal for a Bridge to Sicily

Quote:

Italy is considering building a $7 billion bridge from Calabria to Sicily across the Strait of Messina. It would be both the largest suspension bridge and tallest bridge in the world, making it a feat of engineering. It could boost the local economies, increase tourism, improve relations between the people of southern Italy, and demonstrate Italy’s engineering prowess. However, it would also come with many budget, engineering, and infrastructure issues. Whether it will ever be constructed, we will have to wait and see.
